rudimentary' department of 6S
pages, in which the elements of note
reading and valuable suggestions con-
corning the use of the voice are given !;
all being illustrated by practical exer-
cises and easy pieces. Then comes part
second, which furnishes choice lot
of part-songs, quarteta, glees, etc.
Following this is treatise on Vocal
Culture, which gives valuable direc-
tions with regard to respiration, ex-
panding the lungs, etc. Then comes
part third, consisting of 81 pages of
new and well-selected metrical tunes.
Finally there are 142 pages of beauti-
full anthems, chants, sentences, etc.,
